My husband travels all over the world and always stays at Marriott Hotels. We have travel together as well and we always stay at Marriott's. We recently travelled to Guatemala from February 28 thru March 4 we stayed at the Marriott in Cayala since I've always wanted to stay there for the shopping etc. The hotel was nice the food for breakfast good. The room smaller and a bit awkward but nonetheless for the time we were in the room it was okay. We were on the Fuego Torre parked in S2. Every single time we were going in and out of the hotel parking lot it was terrible! Evidently according to Hotel personnel Cayala was updating the system for parking and that was their excuse which we understood it was out of their ability to fix BUT!!! We told them at the front desk several times that they should probably keep someone at the gates so we wouldn't waste time waiting on them to answer the phone so that they could send someone.. half of the time NO ONE answered phone! We had so little time in Guatemala and we wasted close to five hours altogether every single time at the gates. Also on Friday night there was a concert near Cayala and the traffic was HORRENDOUS! But the Hotel could have had someone directing traffic to their entrance or something. We waited in line to try to get into Cayala close to 40 minutes Our TV stopped working Friday night.. we called the front desk they sent someone he couldn't do anything (though he tried) so he said he would let the front desk know so they could replace it. We left the hotel around 10 in the morning on Saturday.. didn't get back until 10:30 at night the TV was not fixed .. we waited till the next day Sunday they offered us the room next door and the TV didn't work in that room either!! Anyways even if front desk apologized we felt as if NOTHING was done at all to make our stay enjoyable. Too bad because the surrounding Cayala area is beautiful. I'd advised to anyone to NOT stay at Marriott in Cayala at all NOT WORTH IT!
What an incredible hotel stay. Honestly found this Courtyard to be a fantastic hotel and highly recommend to stay here when in the city. The rooms are great and comfortable. Bed and pillows were perfect and all amenities made the stay great. The restaurant at the hotel is really good and you wont be disappointed.
I called this place to make sure my family members would be able to check in with no issues. As a diamond member I’ve never had issues like this. I booked the reservation and added the person that would be checking in. Not thinking that I needed to put the number of people in the room because I purchased the type of room I needed that accommodated 3 guest. My mother in law and brothers in law were picking up my daughters from the airport the following morning so I had my in laws check in. When they got there to check in the front desk wanted to charge us 35 per person. I specifically paid 15k points that accommodated 4 and it was only 3 guest. It didn’t matter whether it was 2 or 3 on the reservation the points were the same. But there they wanted to charge 35 per person. Then as diamonds we normally get something like breakfast. Well the front desk made sure they told my 76 year old mother in law, no breakfast is allowed for them. I am extremely upset with how they were treated. I don’t care if we purchased the breakfast the fact that they immediately said to them and no breakfast for you all made it seem Like they were allowed to dine. Never using this place ever again.
私たちはバルセログアテマラシティホテルを愛していました。私たちは午後7時ごろ空港に到着しました。シャトル運転手はすでに到着地域で私たちを待っていました。ホテルは素敵できれいなバンを持っていました。空港からわずか5分です。迅速なチェックイン、ホテルは大きくてきれいで、私たちの部屋は8階に2つのバルコニーがありました。キングベッドがあり、2本のボトル入りの水とトレイの果物を提供してくれました。彼らはプールを持っていますが、私たちはそれを楽しむのに十分な時間を持っていません。朝食はとても素敵で、ファジータ、プランテン、豆など毎日朝食にグアテマラ料理の選択肢が異なります。通常の卵、パン、チーズ、ヨーグルト、コールドカット、新鮮な果物もたくさんあります。サーバーはとても親切でした。ホテル内のレストラン、京都で日本料理を食べ、アメリカ料理のストライカーも食べました。私たちは毎回旅行にどれぐらいのお金を使うか分かりませんので、毎日フロントに通貨を交換しました。私たちはバルセロを私たちの拠点ホテルにし、毎日ツアーをしました。私たちはHobbitenango、Antigua、Chichicastenango、Guatemala City Tour、San Juan la LagunaとAtitlan湖をしました。ホテルからわずか1ブロックのところにスーパーPaizがあります。飲み物と軽食を買いました。エリアは非常に安全で、ホテルにはロビーとゲートに24/7ガードがあります。空港に戻るシャトルも予約しました。私たちのフライトは午前6時で、午前4時に最初のシャトルを乗りました。空港、セキュリティ、移民に着く時間がたくさんあります。素晴らしい滞在をありがとうバルセロ、すぐに戻って来てほしいです!
I arrived on September 17th 1:12 pm to check in to this hotel. The receptionist guy said check in was not until 3:00pm. I could have sworn I saw something on the hotels.com website that said there was a 2 hour early check in option. Pretty sure I chose it. Not sure how it didn't register. So I decided to check out the restaurant. I sat down and was greeted but a waiter. He said, we have great buffet with bla bla bla bla” I can't remember but he was REALLY trying to sell it. So I took a look at the buffet. It looked alright. There was no price visible anywhere so I didn't know how much it was. I asked the waiter and he told me to wait. He went to some room to get a scratch piece of paper. He wrote the price on the paper. It was kinda vague and his hand writing was strange. I had to ask him 3 times to clarify the price. He finally said “$34 for the lunch buffet”..... I immediately grabbed my bags and walked out. I've been all over the world and can't remember paying anywhere near that much for a lunch buffet. Not even in Europe. Around 3:00pm I was given my room key and room number. Took the elevator to room 802. It was a pretty nice room overall. The refrigerator didn't work though. Later on that night I asked some receptionist guy if I could get my refrigerator replaced. He said he would make a note of it and first thing in the morning it would be replaced. It wasn't. Around noon time the next day I went down the reception and asked a lady if she had any notes about someone needing a refrigerator replaced. Instead of answering my question she asked what my room number was. I again asked her if the receptionist guy from last night passed on the information. She again wouldn't answer and kept asking for my room number. This went on about 3 minutes or so. She then asked my name. I told her. She used this to find my room number. Still no answers about why I still had no replacement refrigerator and if any info was passed on from last night. She said I would get a replacement refrigerator soon. I didn't. Around 4:00pm I heard some cleaning ladies in the hall. I told her my refrigerator didn't work and asked them if I could get one from a near by room. She said, “OK sure”. She even carried it to my room as I grabbed the broke one and placed it in the hall. So in short... The receptionists suck at this hotel. Bathroom: Its pretty nice. The ventilation fan didn't work though. Gym: It's pretty darn good. Only thing missing was a flat bench press. There is a 45lbs bar laying on the floor though. So I am guessing this gym did have one at some point in time. The gym closes at 9:00pm. Which is still better than the Grand Tikal Futura which closes at 7:30pm. WiFi: It was good overall. It has that quirky log in system though. So after a minute of so of no activity on your smart phone it will disconnect. And you have the repeat the process over again. Breakfast: Overall it's pretty good. No buffet. Just
I've been a loyal customer, staying at this hotel on average twice a year for the past 25 years. Yes, that includes the period prior to the hotel being a Hilton. The last time I stayed I had an issue with the reception desk, but now it was worse. Turns out that I was ”upgraded” to a Jr. Suite, something I didn't want because most of the upgraded rooms face the loud highway. I explained that I preferred a garden facing room regardless of the upgrade, but they couldn't accommodate me because they had no availability of those rooms. So, I accepted the upgrade, but because the room wasn't ready, I left telling the front desk that I would be back later that night. I came back close to 9:00pm to find that indeed my room was facing the highway, but then the surprise...the room had no windows! Oh yes, there was glass where windows were supposed to be, but they were frosted or white. Needless to say, you couldn't see out and it felt like a cave! Well, it was late so I decide to go to sleep and deal with it in the morning. Morning came, I went to the front desk and told them how unhappy I was and that the room was unacceptable and that I wanted to leave given that they couldn't accommodate my request. Well, to my surprise they were going to charge me the penalty for checking out early. I explained that it was not my fault, that they should check with the manager. They then offered a room next to the elevator which I declined. Explaining that it was okay if they had no availability, and that I would just leave. No issue, those things happen and I would be back another time. I went back to the room to gather my bags came back to the front desk to check out and yes, the manager had said NO to my request to not charge the penalty so I had to pay the $25 plus tax. What a stupid move by the hotel, after 25 years, they had lost a client for $25. Amazing! Of course I will never stay at the hotel ever again and will do what I can to tell everyone my story.
JJoeNotTheDogI was unable to get in the security gate for the neighborhood giving only the hotels name and street address, but as I had a local phone, I called the property and they gave the street address with number of address (20-50 added to Diagonal 26, along with hotel name), and security let us in. Arriving a few minutes later, the taxi left, and I rolled my luggage to a locked door at the address and pushed the buzzer...nothing. I pushed the other buzzer with a individual's name...nothing. Buzzed again....nothing. Luckily (again) I had my phone and called the hotel where the offsite worker asked if I had pressed the buzzer, then said they would have the assistant open the door for me. A few minutes later, I was met and ushered in, and when shown to my room was not provided a key. The room locks from inside, so that was fine. I believe the nearly empty hotel had a staffing issue at this time and the friendly, helpful, courteous person helping was not a regular check-in employee, , accounting for all of the above issues. After settling in, the room was spotlessly clean, spacious, great views of the mountainside, quiet, SOOOOO very close to the airport, had breakfast available for a small fee, free airport shuttle was perfectly on time. I would stay here again.
L'hôtel est vraiment fantastique, un peu vétuste car bâtiment historique, il manque une touche de modernité, c'est évident, mais il est bien entretenu et très joli. Une piscine dans la cour, entourée d'un jardin exotique, pour passer des heures de fainéantise allongé sur un transat avec une Margarita à la main. Les chambres spacieuses et la literie commode. Les oreillers pas très bons, j’avoue. Le Personnel vraiment attentif, super aimable, très gentils, ils méritent ma reconnaissance. La cuisine je ne recommande pas, en réalité c’est un désastre. J’ai commandé une entrée et un plat et ils m’ont tout amené au même temps. C’est une cuisine au microondes, le poulet sauce béchamel (il devait être un poulet nain), raide et sec, j’avais demandé sans sauce et ils ont mis une chose blanchâtre, liquide, avec des grumeaux, que je n’ai pas réussi à déterminer. La soupe d’haricots sans aucun intérêt, de la purée en boite diluée et réchauffée (au microondes aussi). Les Frites surgelées, évidement. Une petite serviette en papier, bas de gamme, juste pour moucher la trompe d’un moustique, contraste avec des nappes en tissu blanc sur les tables de la salle à manger.
I stayed here in late Nov 2022, The hotel is very conveniently located very near to the GUA airport. If you travel light you can literally walk to it from the airport (~10min walk) but they do provide free shuttle service to/from the airport. It is located in a ”gated community” and the hotel itself has sufficient locks/security so i definitely felt peace of mind knowing my belongings were safe. The staff is extremely kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The room I stayed in was a little on the smaller side, but it was than suitable for my needs. (Random note but I love a good shower I was actually really pleasantly surprised by the water pressure in the shower.) They also provide a free breakfast which was quite delicious and a great added perk. All in all this place is highly rated and for good reason. It exceeded my own expectations, I would definitely recommend staying there.
ゲゲストThis was a very convenient overnight stop before an early morning flight. The staff were great and arranged to-go lunch boxes and a taxi for our 3:30am departure to the airport which was only 10 minutes away. Lots of western and fast food options within a five minute walk including Applebys, TGIF, MacDonalds, Burger King and Pappa Johns. Lots of other hotels in the neighbourhood, but Best Western offered the best price for our overnight purposes.
